Topic: Ruling for Performing Qaza for Fasts Missed due to Menstruation in Case of Weakness   (No-11231)

Q A question from an elderly woman: Throughout my youth I did not perform qaza for the fasts I missed due to menstruation and now that I am old, I am too weak to perform qaza for so many missed fasts. What is the Shariah ruling for me?

a It is to be noted that performing qaza for the fasts missed due to menstruation is mandatory, therefore in the situation described above, the number of fasts missed should be calculated and qaza should be performed for each fast. If a person is too weak to perform qaza, they should give fidyah instead.
However, it is to be kept in mind that despite giving fidyah for the missed fasts, if the person somehow regains the strength to fast, it will become obligatory for them to perform qaza for the missed fasts.

دلائل:

القرآن الكريم: (البقرة، الآية: 184)
أَيَّامًا مَعْدُودَاتٍ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ •

صحيح مسلم: (رقم الحديث: 335، ط: دار إحياء التراث العربي)
وحدثنا عبد بن حميد، أخبرنا عبد الرزاق، أخبرنا معمر، عن عاصم، عن معاذة، قالت: سألت عائشة فقلت: ما بال الحائض تقضي الصوم، ولا تقضي الصلاة. فقالت: أحرورية أنت؟ قلت: لست بحرورية، ولكني أسأل. قالت: كان يصيبنا ذلك، فنؤمر بقضاء الصوم، ولا نؤمر بقضاء الصلاة.
